No more annoying issues will be created after a successfull propose downstream. (#1693)

BREAKING CHANGE: fixed an issue where the repo was searched for the specfile before checking if 'downstream_package_name' is set, and '<downstream_package_name>.spec' can be used as the 'specfile_path'. (#1663)

Packit now correctly handles creation of custom archives in root while a specfile is in a subdirectory. (#1622)

Packit now supports `--release-suffix` parameter in all of the related CLI
-default-release-suffix` that allows you to override the configuration
generated default option that ensures correct NVR ordering

When initializing source-git repos, the author of downstream commits created from patch files which are not in a git-am format is set to the original author of the patch-file in dist-git, instead of using the locally configured Git author. (#1575)
Packit now supports `release_suffix` configuration option that allows you to override the long release string provided by Packit that is used to ensure correct ordering and uniqueness of RPMs built in Copr. (#1568)

Introduced two new build and test target aliases: `fedora-latest-stable` resolves to the latest stable Fedora Linux release,
branched` resolves to all branched releases (all Fedora Linux release, except `rawhide`). (#1546)
When using `post_upstream_clone` to generate your spec-file, Packit now correctly checkouts the release before the action is run. (#1542)

`packit source-git update-dist-git` and `packit source-git update-source-git` now check the synchronization of source-git and dist-git repositories prior to doing the update. If the update can't be done, for example, because the histories have diverged, the command provides instructions on how to synchronize the repositories. A `--force` option is available to try to update the destination repository anyway.
Downstream synchronization of the Packit configuration file (aka `packit.yaml`) should be fixed. (#1532)
